Rapidly Spreading New ‘Arcturus’ COVID Strain Detected in 20 States
msn ^ | 4-5-23 | Hristina Byrnes

But the coronavirus and its variants are still very much around, and still sometimes resulting in hospitalization and death. And the virus continues to mutate. Last week, the World Health Organization said that it was monitoring a variant dubbed XBB.1.16, or “Arcturus.” This is an Omicron subvariant, similar to the most transmissible COVID variant yet -- XBB.1.5,, nicknamed “Kraken.” And if that weren’t enough, a descendant of the new subvariant, XBB.1.16.1, has been detected in several states. (These are alarming outbreaks currently ongoing in the U.S.)

To compile a list of all the states where the new COVID variant has been detected, 24/7 Tempo reviewed data provided by Tableau Public, an American interactive data visualization software company. The table is updated regularly. Population data came from U.S. Census Bureau's 2022 American Community Survey one-year estimates.

As of the end of March 2023, there have been a total of 195 confirmed cases of the Arcturus variant around America. More cases were being reported every week until week 12 of this year, when cases dropped from 65 to 48 to four. The decline, however, may be due to lack of reporting, not necessarily due to the virus slowing down.

I guess Andromeda Strain was already taken.

Anyway, the Arcturans look like this I guess:

Did Arcturus replace the late Oderus in Gwar?

Arcturus? Now they’re naming “variants” after stars? I thought they were using Greek letters.

I think they should be naming them like they name hurricanes. I want to see them try to gin up fear about COVID variant “Bob.”

And I’m all in on the tunneling. Forget COVID, with how bad crime is getting tunneling, Bugs Bunny style, might be the safest way to get around.

Just the predicted consequence of mass vaccination of everyone, including the young and healthy, in the middle of the pandemic.

I don’t know what it is, but I’m really sick from something.

Started as sore throat, nasal congestion, BAD body/arm/leg aches, and coughing. It’s been over a week and now it is getting me all congested in my upper airways. Keep waking up coughing my lungs out.

Covid test is negative. But the test is one of those government freebies from last year...

Perhaps there’s some speculation that because of measures people took, the spread of common colds and flu went down, and now that we’ve dropped those measures both have come back and are kicking butt because they’ve had time to evolve enough to fake out our earlier immunities?

I’m not sure anymore. One thing for sure, the lies and political oppression from the government, the medical community and big tech has absolutely led me to trust NO ONE. Unless I’m dying, I’ll stay home and suffer. I don’t need my doctor or a hospital to give me a lecture on Covid and also, worse case, kill me by putting me on a ventilator.

I am taking daily supplements of Zinc Quercetin, Vitamins D3 and C, Glycine as well as NAC.

Eight people from the office called in sick last week with covid. Don’t know if they actually tested themselves or if so, whether the tests were worth a damn. The next day, HR lady brought a box of masks in and was wearing one. She didn’t wear it long because not a single other person put one on. No one from the plant got sick or got sick enough to notice, call in etc. I think it was psychosomatic for certain office people.

I work on a hospital. There is still a mask mandate so thar Covid will not spread.

Kaiser still mandates masks in all of its clinics as well. A lucky rabbit’s foot mandate would be just as effective. They’re absolutely destroying the credibility of the health care industry with measures like this that are now proven to be completely ineffective, even using the vaunted N95 masks. They’ve moved beyond “science” into baseless superstition for political purposes, which rightly causes wise people to wonder in what other areas they have lied or distorted the truth to serve agendas other than public health.

Interesting nomenclature

https://arcturusrx.com

Arcturus Therapeutics is a global late-stage clinical messenger RNA medicines and vaccines company focused on the discovery, development and commercialization of therapeutics for rare diseases and vaccines. We have proprietary technologies, validating partnerships, and an experienced team with deep expertise in delivery and RNA-based therapeutics.

Ancient and mythological origins:

https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/meet-arcturus-guardian/

Arcturus is a fine example of a red giant star — impressively large, accordingly rarefied, brilliantly bright, and surprisingly cool. Arcturus possesses only slightly more mass than the Sun, but expands that material into a radius about 25 times larger.

Arcturus is a Greek name, and you’ll find a few different subtle translations of the meaning: “guardian of the bear,” “bear follower,” “keeper of the bear,” and others. All of these imply the same basic fact: Arcturus “chases” Ursa Major around the sky.
